Cold is one of the factors that make many
runners to change the frequency of their
training, but with rain and cold you still can run, but with the
right equipment to avoid losing your fitness and fall into a
sedentary lifestyle.

Motivation: To keep you motivated you can form
groups with friends to go running together, and if you run alone,
you just have to convince yourself that if you can not stand the
cold, you could get back home: most of the time this does not
happen and you finish the training without problems.

Feet: Your most important tool to run requires
a
waterproof footwear and if it is made in gore-tex much
better, in order to facilitate good transpiration while
protecting against moisture. Socks must be designed to provide
breathability and ventilation to keep you warm and dry at the
same time.

Calling attention: If you choose to run after
sunset, use reflective clothes, fluorescent colors. This will
keep you safe from drivers, and even pedestrians will give way
when seeing you coming in the distance on the sidewalk.

Warming up: In this cold weather time is best to
perform the warm up at home, this can help you starting to sweat
and activating blood circulation.

Wind direction: When you start running, you
should start doing it against wind direction and when finishing,
you must doing it the same direction of the wind. Remember to use
a sunscreen on your face to avoid burning and use gloves.

No hurry: For this cold season, set aside
stopwatch records and concentrate on making the complete path
that you've planned. You can try different schedules depending on
your time availability.

Don't let rain stop you: With the necessary
preparation there should be no impediment to be able to go
running, whether it rains or not. Carry a bag with spare shoes
and a towel.

Arriving home: Since when you stop training the
body heat decreases, when you got home it is best to change
clothes from head to toe. If it has rained dry your footwear
placing newspaper balls inside and take a hot drink if it's
possible.
